Row-level security constraints are filtered out some elements of a collection attribute. In this case, the security token is also included to JSON returned by REST API, see Security Constraints for Collection Attributes.
Dynamic attribute access control is set up for the entity.

Although the security token does not contain any attribute values (only attribute names and filtered entity identifiers), it is highly recommended to change the default value of the encryption key in the production environment.

Interface: ServerConfig

Used in the Middleware block.

cuba.numberIdCacheSize

When an instance of entity inherited from BaseLongIdEntity or BaseIntegerIdEntity is created in memory via Metadata.create() method, an identifier value is assigned to the entity right away. This value is obtained from the mechanism that fetches the next id from a database sequence. In order to reduce the number of middleware and database calls, the sequence’s increment is set by default to 100, which means that the framework obtains the range of ids on each invocation. So it "caches" this range and yields the ids without going for the next value to the database until the whole range is used.

The property defines the sequence’s increment and the corresponding size of the cached range in memory.

Warning

If you change the value of this property when there are already some entities in the database, recreate also all existing sequences with the new increment (which must be equal to cuba.numberIdCacheSize) and the starting values corresponding to the maximum values of existing ids.

Do not forget to set the property on all blocks used in the application. For example, if you have Web Client, Portal Client and Middleware, you should set the same value in web-app.properties, portal-app.properties and app.properties.

Default value: 100
